The only problem with Hank is that although he is an amazing comic character, he may not work as a film character. I expect Black Panther will turn up in future Avengers films. Maybe Ms Marvel given the villen set to appear in A2?

Yeah i understand the concerns, but im sure Marvel Studios can find a way to make him not look and act cheesy. He is a necessity in that he offers janet, allows for a very emotional story, and gives a route to one of the greatest Avenger villains ever, Ultron! If they do include hank, imo he needs to be giant-man with at most one shot of ant-man, so wasp's shrinkage isn't pointless.

Hank and Jan along with T'Challa are a MUST!!! I think Antman/Giantman and Wasp should be introduced in their movie next and hopefully Black Panther will get a movie of their own as well before the next Avengers film.

As far as Villains go, while it's steering towards Thanos for the sequel, Hank's creation of Ultron setting up a 3rd film oughta be the way to go with the eventual creation of Vision by Ultron. If Hank doesn't appear in Film 2 then I suppose they'll go with Kang for Film 3. I'm sure Whedon wouldn't dare go ahead with Ultron without Pym's involvement.

As for Pietro and Wanda, I'd love to see them too but I can't see them appearing I'm afraid. Wouldn't mind Ms Marvel though.

He mentioned them the other day. They probably have the same potential as any character I reckon

Sry i didn't make myself clear, but yes he did mention them. However i was talking about movies that he said might be coming in phase 2 like Dr. strange, antman, gotg etc. and in that since those two characters are not as far along, and a bit of a long shot.

Here is my 'ideal' team for The Avengers 2 based on what happens in the film and based on Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor having their own solo movies and therefore having no real 'storyline obligations' for inclusion in the franchise going forward:
Bruce Banner/The Hulk
Natasha Romanov/Black Widow
Clint Barton/Hawkeye
Vision *
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (replacing Steve Rogers/Captain America)
James Rhodes/War Machine (replacing Tony Star/Iron Man)
Gamora **
Ms. Marvel

is just as likely to be used in Thor 2 given the way that The Avengers ends as he is in Avengers 2, and if he were involved in Thor 2, it would lead organically into Thor returning for Avengers 2.

I don't necessarily think they should write the 'Big Three' out of Avengers 2, but thought I'd operate off of the potential for them to be absent that was written into the end of The Avengers and try to think about characters who could organically come in to fill their respective roles if Marvel did decide to not bring them back.

Even with an Avengers 2 cast lineup that includes IM, Cap, and Thor, though, my suggestion for Vision still stands, because it's an organic and suitable follow-up to what happens in The Avengers.
